Volkswagen Golf 8: the tax to register it in 31 countries

Computed for the 1.5 TSI 150 hp, as it left the showroom: list price €30,000, first registered in 2024. Inside the EU there is no duty and no VAT on a used car, so what is left is the registration tax each country charges — and in most of them that figure does not depend on the price at all.

Ukraine is shown at the full 10% duty, because these pages do not know where each car was built — and the relief turns on that, not on where it is bought. A car built in the EU and sold with an EUR.1 pays no duty at all.

Spain, Austria and Switzerland charge a percentage of the value, and six more countries charge on a valuation of their own — for those the figure moves with the price. Everywhere else it is fixed by CO₂, power or weight.
